Hawaii Island of Oahu - Restaurants

Several new restaurants have opened on Oahu, including: E & O Trading Company (Ward Centre, 1200 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu; tel. 808/591-9555; www.eotrading.com), a chain eatery featuring Southeast Asian cuisine (Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and East India) served on small, tapas-sized plates, open for lunch and dinner, with entree prices ranging from $7 to $13 for small plates.

The Kahala Mandarin Oriental Hotel (5000 Kahala Ave., Kahala, tel. 808/739-8770; www.mandarinoriental.com) added another restaurant to their collection: the Cabanas Seaside Grill. The outdoor dining area is a cluster of white canvas tents next to the ocean. In the privacy of your own cabana, you can order from the Mediterranean-influenced menu. Entrees are pricy (fresh fish is sold by the pound at market prices from $32 to $58 a pound), but you can't beat the ambience.

Serving Italian "comfort food," Pane & Vino (408 Lewers St., second floor,, Waikiki; tel. 808/923-8466) offers traditionally prepared meals (from Italian sausage for $13 to grilled bistecca for $18), and later becomes a cozy wine bar (wines by the glass $6-$8.50) open until 2 am.

The neighborhood eatery, Town (3435 Waialae Ave., Honolulu, tel. 808/735-5900) offers a great selection of what chef/owner Ed Kenney calls "American Bistro," and judging by the long lines and hard-to-get reservations, it's a hit. Entrees range from $7.50 to $17.
